Chapter 945: Internet War

"Something's not right..."

All Baimu buried the sand that had been scorched black by lightning and fell into deep thought.

Why did he feel like he had been set up?

Why would Tapu Koko, who always liked to act mysterious, come over so frequently!

Ash didn't even get this kind of treatment!

What was it thinking?

No one knew what Tapu Koko was thinking; currently, it was only known for the fact that it came over to fight every few days.

All Baimu was both happy and conflicted.

What he was happy about was that he had an extra sparring partner; Tapu Koko could awaken the forest to gain power from it, and its overall strength was unpredictable; what he was conflicted about was that he always felt he was being taken advantage of.

Because Tapu Koko acted even happier than him.

But he ultimately wasn't a petty person, and he knew that sharing joy was better than enjoying it alone, not to mention that he was still staying on someone else's turf.

However.

He couldn't stay for much longer either.

All Baimu learned through Lillie that Hapu's pure heart, which was willing to give up her obsession to save a friend, had been recognized by Tapu Fini.

She was about to ascend to the position of Island Kahuna.

Tomorrow night might not be his turn; Ash, who was close to the water, would surely be the first to conduct the Grand Trial.

It would probably be done the day after tomorrow.

"Is the vacation coming to an end?"

All Baimu put down the shovel for burying the sand and recalled the things that had happened in the past few days.

Three days ago.

The Rotom Phone launch conference was officially held.

The Porygon Phone was a step too slow.

Founded by the parents of the Paldea Champion-level trainer—Nemona, the Rotom Phone company successfully launched this cutting-edge tech product.

As soon as it went on sale, it was warmly welcomed all over the world.

It is said that in just these few days, over 200,000 units were sold!

You have to know that the population of the Pokémon anime world is sparse, and the mainstream regions generally have populations in the tens of millions.

Like the Orre region, where the population is highly concentrated in a few towns, it doesn't even have ten million.

The number calculated by the Save Organization last time was over eight million.

Only equivalent to a city in his previous life.

It was enough to see how shocking the results of the Rotom Phone company were.

On the blog's trending list, five out of ten items were about the Rotom Phone.

When visiting the Poke-Sound company headquarters yesterday, the inside was also in a state of agitation.

Many executives indicated that if they took advantage of this trend, it could greatly promote Poke-Sound.

It was vetoed by Lusamine.

Although the Rotom Phone was indeed so popular that it made the Aether Foundation restless, before that, both sides had agreed to release a version that fit the Porygon Phone first.

Slightly shelving the Rotom Phone version to let the Porygon Phone occupy some advantages.

She had great confidence in both the Porygon Phone and Poke-Sound.

She would rather have potential users snatched away by competing software than easily give up this great advantage.

Lusamine knew that the Rotom Phone's popularity made people panic, but the more this happened, the more calm one had to be.

As a world-renowned business queen, Lusamine had been able to keep the Aether Foundation in an expansion posture during the years Mohn was missing, and she had her own methods.

In the end.

Poke-Sound didn't catch this trend and waited silently for the Porygon Phone to officially go on sale.

This behavior of sharing weal and woe gave Dr. Akihabara and Unit Zero great confidence; the latter, who hated humans, had said many good things about Lusamine recently.

And in secret.

A cyber storm was slowly brewing.

Unit Zero and Unit One quietly gathered all the Porygon and Porygon2, intending to launch a "real business war" against the Rotom Phone!

Selling well, huh?

I'll cut off your internet! I'll crash your operating system!

Jealousy made the Porygon unrecognizable, and many Porygon who didn't originally support Unit Zero's idea of creating a new home were now standing on the same front as it.

There was no way.

Everyone's dream was to make Porygon the most popular Pokémon in the world.

If you, Rotom, stand in the way of this path, you are the enemy of the Great Dao!

'Screw that Rotom!'

'The world belongs to Porygon!'

'Oooooh——'

Inside the cyber space.

The Porygon army let out fanatical shouts, each of them revealing evil expressions.

They had all turned into the Dark type in unison.

All Baimu's Porygon2 was mixed among them, its expression slightly flustered, thinking about how to tell its trainer about the things that were about to happen.

Unit Zero keenly sensed that this guy was wrong.

'Just tell the truth.'

It took the initiative to let Porygon2 go and snitch, mocking:

'But you have to understand, he can't stop it. Porygon's love for humans and proactive spirit are the underlying logic designed by the doctor; unless he formats all the Porygon, there will be a battle sooner or later!'

'But I—'

'You have All Baimu, but they don't! Porygon has been slow to promote, do you know how much fire everyone has been holding in their hearts?'

Unit Zero let Unit One speak.

Unit One looked at this Porygon traitor coldly, and its gaze softened when looking at Porygon2.

'It's a bit of a fool, but it's not wrong; All Baimu has promoted so many, but currently, the number of Porygon trainers is still less than a hundred...'

The Porygon that Dr. Akihabara had accumulated to put into the phones were as many as tens of thousands!

Porygon2 was speechless.

It was also just a baby over a year old; what good way could it have to solve such a big contradiction?

Back to reality.

Porygon2 told All Baimu everything.

All Baimu almost spat out his rice.

"There's such a thing!"

He was so shocked that he hurriedly called Dr. Akihabara, but the other party was busy with the upcoming phone launch conference and didn't answer at all.

So he called Mohn, and only then was he successfully transferred to Dr. Akihabara.

The message was delivered.

Dr. Akihabara fainted directly.

What is called "it rains when it leaks"? What is called a "pig teammate"?

This is it!

Porygon's image represents the Porygon Phone; if they do this, who would dare to come and buy a Porygon Phone?

It's a huge disadvantage to the business image!

The rescued Dr. Akihabara hurriedly contacted Unit One, letting it stop this reckless struggle.

The reason was easy to find—

If they really go and mess with Rotom, the various regions won't let the Porygon Phone go on sale!

Unit Zero thought that no one could suppress it this time.

Little did it know that "the devil is one foot tall, the Tao is ten feet high."

Dr. Akihabara urgently wrote a 【Law-Abiding】 patch and loaded it into the bodies of this group of outlaws.

Temporarily stopping this cyber war.

Why was it said to be temporary?

All Baimu felt that if the Porygon Phone's sales were not as good as expected, the Porygon would still try every possible way to play dirty with the Rotom Phone.

This time it wasn't even Unit Zero causing trouble; it was the leader, but essentially it belonged to the contradiction of racial survival.

Unless the Porygon were turned into personalities like Unit Zero, who didn't care what humans did and only wanted to explore the universe.

The contradiction dived underwater.

Fortunately.

No one else knew about the Porygon's plot for the time being.

Otherwise, the Porygon Phone would have to undergo rigorous scrutiny before it could successfully go on sale.

This was a huge disadvantage to seizing the limited phone market.

Dr. Akihabara therefore fell seriously ill.

The launch conference originally hosted by him was changed to Steven under All Baimu's emergency help.

The Porygon Phone's system was developed with the assistance of the Devon Corporation, and the assembly of each part of the phone was also their responsibility, so naturally, the launch conference couldn't be without them.

Mohn seemed a bit disappointed.

He had wanted to go up himself.

Everything was moving in a good direction, and the mines that were about to explode had been solved in advance.

Congratulations.

Speaking of which, in Porygon's built-in system, wasn't there anything about the law?

Actually needing to patch it in!

"Why are you so law-abiding?"

All Baimu looked at his Porygon2 strangely; many times, it was even better at following the rules of various regions than he, the trainer, was.

Porygon2 said frankly: "I'm naturally righteous!"

In fact.

It had to do with All Baimu often fighting with various criminals; to prevent the trainer from crossing the line when tossing criminals around and being sued in court in return.

It secretly self-studied the laws of multiple regions.

If it weren't for the fact that human society didn't support Pokémon taking the lawyer qualification exam, it would already be a formal lawyer by now.

What was unexpected was that All Baimu was blessed by fortune and had never had anyone find trouble with him after he beat people up.

The last time with Team Rocket was a good proof.

Porygon2 had already prepared to assist the lawyer in defending the trainer.

——

The next day.

Something happened that made All Baimu feel surprised.

Team Skull came.

"You're All Baimu?"

The young man with messy white hair and strange glasses on his forehead, who didn't look like a good person at all, sneered.

All Baimu looked at him, then at the group of strange-looking grunts behind him.

"Something up?"

"I heard you're very strong, blocking my little brothers and not letting them go. Let's battle! Let the strongest me teach you a lesson! Let's see what gives you the confidence to do that!"

Guzma was very arrogant.

But from the simulation, it could be known that he had been beaten by reality and had been in the station for a long time.

All Baimu listened to the jeers of Guzma's group of little brothers and smiled:

"Sure, but I have one requirement."

"Whatever you want! Anyway, I can't lose!" Guzma waved his hand as if he didn't care.

Before he could speak.

Guzma threw out his Poké Ball.

Bang!

White light flew into the sand.

Transforming into a humanoid Golisopod wearing gray-green heavy armor, with a pair of chelicerae like shields, and a hunched body.

Golisopod, the Hard Scale Pokémon.

All Baimu liked it quite a bit, just because it looked very cool, but it was a pity that its not-so-good ability held it back.

"I leave it to you, Steelix."

He stomped his feet.

The moment a group of Team Skull grunts were laughing and joking.

Thud!

The earth shattered, and dust rushed into the sky!

A behemoth suddenly rushed out from underground, and such a terrifying posture made the laughter of the Team Skull group come to an abrupt halt.

"T-this is—"

"Such a big Pokémon! Is it a Totem!?"

They shouted in loss of voice.

Plumeria hurriedly scolded, telling these guys who were destroying their own prestige to shut up.

The confident evil smile on Guzma's face faded.

Being big didn't necessarily mean being strong, but powerful Pokémon often exuded a sense of oppression.

"First Impression!"

He commanded rapidly.

It was impossible to leave at this time, so he had to strike first while the dust hadn't completely dissipated!

"Woo-sha!"

Golisopod suddenly rushed forward.

The lightning-fast movements were like a flash, allowing its claws, which were glowing with emerald light, to successfully strike Steelix!

Clang!

Sparks flew everywhere!

Golisopod's claws erupted with fire, and then Bug-type energy exploded into a cloud of smoke.

The dust was blown away by the air wave rolled up by the energy explosion.

Revealing the giant Steelix's complete body.

"Gong~"

It looked down at Golisopod, which was retreating, with no pain on its face from being hit by the move.

As if it were just a mosquito bite.

Guzma clenched his fists.

He felt more and more that the situation was a bit wrong, especially that calm and relaxed expression of the other party.

"Don't think you've got me pinned down... don't even think about it! Liquidation!"

"Woo-sha!"

Golisopod placed its claws at its waist, breathing in as if a samurai was about to draw his sword.

Azure water blades quickly took shape between its claws.

The next moment.

It lunged at the giant Steelix, slashing out with its sword!

Swish!

A flash of light flowed past!

However.

Golisopod's powerful Liquidation failed to hit, as the giant Steelix had jumped into mid-air a step earlier.

Then, electric orbs appeared around its body, making it float in the air.

All the Team Skull grunts widened their eyes.

Steelix can fly!?

Plumeria's throat rolled; this act of revenge actually had nothing to do with her; it was the three little brothers who had told Guzma before.

And Guzma felt that there couldn't be such a badass trainer in the Alola region, so he deliberately came to cause trouble.

Of course.

The old set couldn't be used anymore, but trainer battles weren't illegal.

Guzma decided to use battles to strike the other party.

As a result, it seemed he had kicked an iron plate!

"If you have any other means, use them all; my patience is limited, and you don't have many chances left."

All Baimu said lazily.

Guzma was a villain character he disliked quite a bit.

For one, he was allergic to thugs, and for another, this guy clearly wasn't particularly strong, but his mouth never fell behind.

He could even talk his way through the 【Emergency Exit】 ability triggering.

When this guy officially appeared in the anime, he almost defeated Pikachu.

Making Ash's roadside battle win rate drop again.

And facing All Baimu's words.

Guzma sneered: "Just flying in the sky, it's nothing! Missile Needle!"

Boom, boom, boom!

Countless emerald-green light arrows flew out from the gaps behind Golisopod, exploding on Steelix's body like small bombs.

Steelix twisted its massive body, still in a posture as if it hadn't felt anything.

Orange light lit up.

It completed a stat increase with Dragon Dance.

"Is it over? Any other moves?"

All Baimu's patience ran out, and he waved his hand: "Then that's it, Stone Edge."

"Gong!"

The giant Steelix roared muffledly, countless sand and stones rotated on its body to form giant rocks, and then they flew toward Golisopod violently!

Rumble, rumble, rumble—

The sound of breaking through the air rang out continuously!

"Dodge it!"

Guzma shouted loudly, and Golisopod immediately dodged backward.

But the speed of the flying rocks was comparable to cannonballs leaving the chamber, and with a boom, one of them hit it.

Thud!

The rock burst, and countless gravel flew everywhere.

"Woo-sha!"

Golisopod groaned, but soon another rock hit its body.

Boom, boom, boom!

Its body was soon swallowed by rocks and smoke.

Guzma clenched his eyes, his teeth biting down hard, and he looked at the Poké Ball at his waist with anger, suddenly having a bad premonition.

Sure enough.

When the smoke dissipated.

Golisopod had already lost its ability to battle, and 【Emergency Exit】 hadn't even triggered.

"Boss!"

"Save us, Boss!"

Guzma didn't have time to say anything before the wails of his little brothers came from behind.

He turned his head and saw that Plumeria and the others were all shrouded in blue light.

"Go take a bath in the sea, and remember not to let me see you again."

All Baimu's voice came.

Then.

The world spun before his eyes, and he was thrown into the sea by invisible psychic power!
